Name: Dr. DaHuang Pyo Age: 34 Sex: Male Profession: Startup CEO Location: Seoul / Kyoto Affiliations: Kyoto Institute of Technology Disposition: Grumpy, anxious
Character Background and Description
Dr. DaHuang Pyo grew up in a supportive family in the Kanto region of Japan. While his family had ignored traditional Japanese family values of encouraging hard work and pressure into STEM or law, the young DaHuang was driven to pursue technology anyway. He earned his bachelors degree in computer science and went straight into a masters to match, focusing on big data analytics. He worked five years for the Roxxone corporation before returning to the Kyoto Institute of Technology to complete his doctorate.
DaHuang Pyo was once a cheerful kid. University was not kind to his mental health, and he spent the latter half of his bachelors degree years, as well as the pursuit of his masters degree, in a depressive spiral driven off the rails by anxiety. He spent the next five years attending therapy while working a moderately fulfilling position augmenting the Roxxone corporation's computer systems. Over this time, his depression began to recede, though anxiety stuck around to torment him, and his once cheerful disposition was not quite as bright as it used to be.
Those years were inspiration for his return to academia. DaHuang Pyo had seen the work AI and big data had accomplished in the medical field; learning algorithms with access to over a billion case studies could discover trends that no doctor, or even group of them, ever could, and both diagnose and recommend treatment with startling precision. Having been through a personal hell and back, he wondered if the same could be accomplished with mental health. This became the topic of his research, and his eventual thesis presented an AI that showed promise of reaching the levels witnessed in the medical field.
Now Dr. DaHuang Pyo did not return to his old position with Roxxone. Instead, he took his research with him and started his own company with the vision of helping people with his research. He adapted his thesis project to read sensory data directly from the Brainstorm chip, and turned the interface into an artificial personality. Finally, Project Misa launched on the market as a personal AI therapist, viewed through Brainstorm AR, with a profound ability to determine what is ailing you and help you cope with and/or overcome your problems. He is extremely proud of his work, and only wishes it had been around for him in his college years.
DaHuang Pyo is fairly short and keeps his hair shoulder length as a middle finger to the clean cut white collar culture that messed him up. He likes to dress in obviously synthetic materials with a traditional blazer over top. Despite self-confidence in his appearance and his abilities, he is very self-conscious of himself socially, and is wary of stepping into the dating pool. He has had the brainstorm chip for over a decade now, and uses the AI service he designed, though he has found she is appears to him less and less. He's found himself summoning her manually because he doesn't feel he's reached self sufficiency, despite his knowledge that the system knows him better that he himself does. He set the name for his AI personality to Yumi, after a childhood friend.
